About Go Hang Gliding

Jeff Hunt probably understood the trajectory of his career path in a way most people don't. Jeff is a CFI (certified flight instructor) in weight shift control through the FAA flying Special Light Sport Aircraft. With an aerospace engineering degree from the University of Texas at Austin and experience working with Tracor Aerospace after college, he is very familiar with how things move forward. Though most aerospace engineers are focused on building spaceships and watering blooming stars, Hunt chose to focus on hang gliders. Over the past 42 years, he has competed in cross-country hang-gliding competitions and become a USHPA-certified advanced instructor. At Fly Texas and Fly Mexico, he shares his passion with students during the intro classes and they learn from his experience with advanced lessons moving forward.

Great time! I had a blast! I would definitely go again! It's not to scary, the whole trip felt safe, but there was still plenty of adrenaline to go around. Also, he was really nice and let me try the controls. We even went through a couple clouds which was an experience in itself! I highly recommend.

I like the gliding class. It was lots of fun. You got four flights in the class. It's a beginner class, good for people who have no experience at all.

It is a beginners tutorial class. You are not coasting off a mountain side, but you do catch some air 3-5 feet in the air depending on the wind that day. A fun class though!

Jeff is a good, patient instructor who knows what he's doing, and has a knack for individualizing it to each student. I'll go back
